Clariant has signed a cooperation agreement with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich to support research in catalysis and sustainable chemistry with a significant financial contribution over an initial period of ten years.
Understanding of Catalyst Properties & Performance
The goal of the partnership is, firstly, to advance the understanding of catalyst properties – from nano- to macroscale – and their performance. Secondly, together with the ETH Foundation, Clariant will sponsor and collaborate in fundamental chemical research projects, promoting talented ETH scientists and students.
Hans Bohnen, member of Clariant’s executive committee, commented, “
We are honored to announce our research agreement with the prestigious ETH Zurich. The partnership, like those with other academic institutions, underscores our commitment to fostering innovation and R&D to develop groundbreaking products and solutions that add value to people, industries, and the environment.”
Detlef Guenther, vice president for Research of ETH Zurich, stated, “
The new research collaboration with Clariant opens great opportunities for our scientists and students to expand their knowledge in catalysis, and benefit from first-hand expertise in the industrial application of novel technologies.”
Clariant’s research cooperation with ETH Zurich is another important milestone for the company, further expanding its partnerships with prominent global academic institutions, which already include the Technical University of Munich, Germany, and Tianjin University, China.
